Abstract Aim We studied global variation in beta diversity patterns of lake macrophytes using regional data from across the world. Specifically, we examined (1) how aquatic is partitioned between species turnover and nestedness within each study region, (2) which environmental characteristics structure these components. Location Global. Methods used presence–absence for 21 regions distributed around calculated pairwise‐site multiple‐site among lakes region Sørensen dissimilarity index it...
We studied community–environment relationships of lake macrophytes at two metacommunity scales using data from 16 regions across the world. More specifically, we examined (a) whether macrophyte communities respond similar to key local environmental factors, major climate variables and spatial locations in each (i.e., within-region approach) (b) how well can explained variability multiple metacommunities be accounted for by elevation range, extent, latitude, longitude, age oldest within...
Screening of native plant species from mining sites can lead to identify suitable plants for phytoremediation approaches. In this study, we assayed heavy metals tolerance and accumulation in dominant growing on abandoned Pb/Zn site eastern Morocco. Soil samples were collected analyzed As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Sb, Pb, Zn concentrations. Bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation (TF), biological coefficient (BAC) determined each element. Our results showed that soils present low organic matter...
Populations located at the rear-edge of a species' distribution may have disproportionate ecological and evolutionary importance for biodiversity conservation in changing global environment. Yet genetic studies such populations remain rare. This study investigates history North-African low latitude marginal Alnus glutinosa Gaertn., European tree species that plays significant role as keystone riparian ecosystems. We genotyped 551 adults from 19 across North Africa 12 microsatellite loci...
Identifying the respective role of environmental, landscape and management factors in explaining patterns community composition is an important goal ecology. Using a set 32 temporary ponds northern Morocco we studied importance local (within pond) regional (density landscape) impacts different land uses on plant species assemblages, separating pond terrestrial species. The main hypotheses tested were that (1) assemblages respond to both environmental factors, (2) anthropogenic pressure has...
Characeae are macroscopic green algae present in the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) that known since 19th century works of Desfontaines (1800) and Braun (1868). Feldmann (1946) published first regional synthesis, this study provides a new Maghreb-wide synthesis all collections made 1784 (570 observations distributed over 464 sites). Each 31 reported species is described detail with its diagnostic features, ecology distribution three Maghrebian countries. Distribution maps distinguish...
Pond ecosystems harbour substantial biodiversity and contribute to several ecosystem services as nature‐based solutions (NbS). restoration creation projects have been initiated address these trends, yet while some insights are published, many remain within the expertise of practitioners not easily accessible. Moreover, papers synthesizing findings from multiple such derive broad, universal conclusions very much lacking. Here, we contacted pond that worked on recent in Europe using a...
An extensive field survey was conducted between 2012 and 2014 to update the knowledge on diversity distribution of large branchiopods in northwestern Morocco. Historical data were available from 1980s allow comparison with our current survey, but most exact locations previously sampled branchiopod populations unknown. Fifteen (of known 17) Moroccan species (9 Anostraca, 3 Notostraca, Spinicaudata) recovered during including two endemic for Morocco (Linderiella africana Tanymastigites...
Le changement climatique constitue un grand défi à relever par les politiques publiques et gestionnaires des espaces naturels. La compréhension de ses impacts sur écosystèmes forestiers préalable nécessaire toute réflexion visant leur conservation le maintien services écosystémiques qu’ils offrent.
